Do we want a Premiership Calamity Football compo?

[Steve]

. . .
fuck off...........Leeds are mine! for better for worse. I stake my claim.

Baldy got his claim in first though

I have a cunning plan.

You can both have Leeds and we have a tie breaker rule for the event of two or more sharing the winning score.

Now all I have to do is come up with a cunning tiebreaker rule

Doesn't matter ........they are shit.........

But conventional team performance is going to be a minor factor in this compo.  This is all about not being at home to Mr Cock Up.  Oh and having a laugh when an opposing team is.

Like when the Arse get shafted 5-0 by Chelski, Manc U, Manc Shitty, Scousville Thieves and even Accrington Stanley in the FA cup like? 

Not sure you understand how a knock out cup competition works.  It's very hard to lose more than once in it in a single season (though it has been done and Arsenal were involved)

Right an update with these key changes from the feedback

- Two or more allowed to have the same football team with the all new tie breaker rule (see below) where we each are invited to select a least calamitous premiership player
- Relegation becomes a major calamity
- Being knocked out of any cup competition your club takes seriously is a 5 point moderate calamity (IE for teams in Europe the league cup does not count)
- Death at ground removed

You might as well let Foggy have Leeds, I will take Chelsea instead.

all that work 

Okey Dokey, will change it

A Chelsea and Leeds supporter is a strange combination.  I'm assuming you're way too young to remember all that grudge, grief and grippin footie in the 1970 FA Cup final

Changing one word in a table. 

Yes I do remember it.....still goes on today whenever they get a chance to meet.

It was a cracking final

"all that work" was working out and writing up a tie break system we probably won't need now

If we both had the same team, in the unlikely event we became winners, it would always be a tie. 

[Steve]

Things I am never going to do #628:

Arbitrate between Baldy and Misty on anything let alone who has the prize *





* not that BM wil ever deliver the reassigned CDB prize

[Steve]

Will launch the compo as a dedicated thread tomorrow before Swansea (anyone going to pick them?) have their first serious match ln the evening.

Anyone joining the compo after tomorrow will lose 1 point for every day and will not be able to name a club someone has already nabbed.  If Tipsy does go for Spurs that will count as on time.

With Baldy changing to Chelsea (thanks) the tie breaker rule will get simplified unless someone (Al?) comes in with a share team claim.  No one is allowed to have Southampton (Snoopy RIP entry)
